    The bowsprit bitts and the beam to which they were fixed were painted and mounted in place. The beam at the forward end has been prepared. In the meantime, I continue to prepare the gun tackles and add them to the guns.

    Great work on the mast Greg.

    As I install the vertical knees, I will also add the gun tackles. I couldn't do this before because the tackle hooks are connected to the eyebolts attached to the knees. I don't plan on adding rope coils to the gun tackles. Maybe I'll add these to the guns on the spar deck. Of course, like everything else, I am making the blocks and hooks myself.

    Thanks

    Thank you Rentner. It's a pleasure for me to watch your build too.

    Thank you so much for the plans Jon. Of course they will help me a lot.

    Bowsprit bitts have been made and tested. After they are painted they will be installed in place.

    Since I don't have a detailed plan, I have to build the ship by looking at the images on the internet. While manufacturing each part, I take the measurements from the model, first draw the manufacturing drawing and produce the parts accordingly. In this case, I now have to build the gun deck and spar deck together to ensure the stuff on th gun deck are in proper position with the spar deck beams. As a strategy, I chose to start from the bow of the ship and move towards the stern. To ensure the stability of the ship, three different knees are used between the decks: vertical, horizontal and diagonal. I will need to manufacture each of these knees by taking measurements on the model. It will be a long and difficult journey.

    The 5mm beads I ordered arrived and I went back to the pumps. I put the quad pump back together with the new beads. I think it's more in proportion to reality now.

    Thank you Jon. In fact, I will partly cover the spar deck so that the details on the gun deck can be seen even a little.

    I also guessed they were stoppers. Thank you for your confirmation.

    I don't know exactly what this mechanism does, the anchor chain passes through the hole. It looks like some kind of clamp. These won't be very visible when the model is finished, but I wanted to add them anyway. At least I'll know they are there.

    Thank you. I don't know the purpose of this spherical assembly in the pump, but it appears to be out of scale in my model. Looks like I'll try to find smaller ones.
  14. mtbediz
    I tested with the beads I found at home to see how the pump would look when the pieces are put together. I am pleased with the look and hoping the pump will look better once it's painted. I will try to find smaller spherical beads.

    I first made the frames from wood because I didn't have square brass bar. But I didn't like it very much, it was too rough and far from reality. That's why I remade them from brass wire. I think they look more realistic now.
  16. mtbediz
    Magnificent workmanship. I'm glad you're back, I will stay tuned.
  17. mtbediz
    Thank you Geoff.

    Thank you Jon. While making the details, I greatly benefit from the experiences you shared in your build log. Of course, because the materials and tools we have are different, our ways of making things are also different.
  19. mtbediz
    Thank you.
  20. mtbediz
    I have started making the bilge pumps, the rocker arms and frames of the quadruple pump are complete
  21. mtbediz
    I bought the dividing attachment two years ago too, but I haven't used it even once until today. I hope you get the opportunity to use it.
  22. mtbediz
    Thank you.
  23. mtbediz
    The lower capstan is complete. It will be varnished later.
  24. mtbediz
    Thank you Jon. I have always found scary working with circular saw from a safety perspective, so I stay away from it as much as possible. I only use it for cutting wood.

    Thank you Greg. Good luck with your Proxxon MF70 (If I understand correctly, you bought the machine). It's a really great tool. With it, your life will become easier and the quality of your work will increase. A must have tool for every modeler. It's a little pricey, but it's worth spending the money. I hope you also purchased the vise compatible with this machine. Because you'll need it too. The vise is as in the link below. https://www.amazon.com.tr/Proxxon-24260-makine-mengenesi-PM40-PROXXON-MF70-için/dp/B000S8HPLG/ref=asc_df_B000S8HPLG/?tag=trshpngglesp-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=510209936070&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16659119729733792243&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=21068&hvtargid=pla-316724730214&psc=1&mcid=6b9d52512a603006a97b8b1110d9a39c

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
